The Hidden Seed

Black Plaid Dress

I'm so in love with this little dress! It's adorable. The fabric is heavy but comfortable at the same time and it keeps the sculptural shape of the skirt nicely without the use of a petticoat. I got it on sale at Anthropologie a few weeks ago. The flower that you see on it is a beautiful crocheted  pin that came with one of Natalie's jackets. She thought that the dress needed it and I think that she was right. Natalie is becoming my personal fashion adviser :)

Flower pin: Borrowed from Natalie :)

Dos Cameos :)

 

This outfit asked for a little handmade touch so I added two of the cameo pins that I make out of polymer clay. They look antique and so sweet in person. These cameos always "talk to me" about new ways to be incorporated into my outfits. I can't wait to create new ones in 2010, I really want to experiment with different old-looking colors.

And this sweater! Oh! Pure perfection, I want to thank so much the designer that came out with this great design! I love all the little ruffles and details everywhere. How clever and flattering for the female figure. This sweater makes you feel like a princess.

I HOPE THAT YOU HAD A WONDERFUL THANKSGIVING YESTERDAY!!!!

Winding Ruffle Boots

 

 

I'm in love with my boots, they're so comfortable, practical and beautiful. My favorite part: the little ruffles :) They add a feminine touch that I highly appreciate. These boots were made in Brazil, a country that Bill and I cannot wait to visit one day. Thank you Brazil! I will see you in person one day. But in the mind time: Thank you Anthropologie for bringing a little bit of Brazil to us :)

Black Jeans

When I was a teenager I used to wear blue jeans a lot, then I stopped doing it and now I am wearing them again (skirts and dresses are my still favorite ;) These ones in particular are perfect, they're a little bit stretchy (sooo comfortable!) and the color is great. I love to wear them with this adorable linen jacket that Bill got for me a few years ago. I added the hat and the heels for a feminine touch :)

Do you wear blue jeans? If yes, how do you wear them? What's your favorite way? I would love to hear from you!

A Romantic Sunset :)

 

 

Not too long ago Bill and I were lucky to attend a special party in Malibu. The location was a real paradise and we got to witness the most spectacular and romantic sunset ever. The light was so orange, it looked almost artificial. Then, the dinner was delicious and the champagne amazing. We both had a great time. I'm glad that I have these few pictures to share with you from that glorious day :)

Secret Agent

Here there is some more drama inspired by the previous outfit. I played a little bit with the hat, wearing it in two different ways. 

This second hat style makes me want to run for President of the Charlie Chaplin  secret club of fans. Natalie found it sooo funny :) I thought that it was kind of cool to mix the masculinity of the hat with the feminine makeup.

Thinking in Bright Yellow

I missed my little ruffle top for a while so I decided to wear it in a different way (compared to way I wore it here). I went for a mix of relaxed/dramatic look with lots of eyeliner and bright yellow beret. Color and makeup are the main accessories here. In the end the outfit is pretty simple and there is no jewelry at all as you can see.

Top: Love Stitch (They don't sell directly to the public online, only to resellers. I found this top at a tiny store here in lA.)

Up in the Mountains

We spent our weekend up in the mountains with the kids  and we just had the best time. The weather was perfect. So beautiful that we decided not to drive at all. All we did was walk around and go everywhere by foot. 

This photo is courtesy of Natalie who discovered my Canon camera for the first time. She took a couple of great pictures so we decided to declare her our official family photographer. 

Almost everything that I am wearing here is from Anthopologie. I got the hat over there at a great hat store that we love, it is 100% wool felt and it looks a little bit like from the 70's.

(I will be back tomorrow with a completely different look :)

Concerned About the Weather :)

I hope that it doesn't rain today. Because I took my paper bird outdoors  :)

When my paper bird saw the bees flying around the other day he got a little sensitive so I had to take him outdoors as well. Fortunately, it didn't rain, so he was able to return back home safe and sound :)
